What happened

A 3-2 win over Colorado started it, and Michkov's hands had the fanbase giddy enough that one poster filed a Flyers dub alongside the birth of his son. The 3-1 in Buffalo made it three straight, which is legally "a WIN STREAK!!!!" The turn came Saturday, 5-4 to Anaheim, the kind of loss that sends people straight to the deadline list, grumbling that if Risto, Cates and Seeler are still around, "Danny fucked up big time." Two wins, one grudge, roughly standard.
